SAMBA Privileges using cupsaddsmb

SAMBA Privileges using cupsaddsmb

[Kris Hollingsworth]

Hey all, I've been banging my head against the wall for the last day or 
two trying to get this working. I'm trying to get my Ubuntu Linux 
(Breezy Badger 5.10 release) to serve up print drivers to my windows box 
when trying to share the printer attached to it.

I think I've got it almost there, I've just run into a problem with 
permissions on the smbclient commands in the cupsaddsmb.

I've only been using linux for about a week, so any help on this would 
help me out immensely.

/etc/samba/smb.conf
------------------------------------------
[global]
   load printers = yes
   printing = cups
   printcap name = cups

[printers]
   path = /var/spool/samba
   browseable = no
   public = yes
   guest ok = yes
   writable = no
   printable = yes
   printer admin = webster

[print$]
   path = /etc/samba/drivers
   browseable = yes
   guest ok = no
   read only = yes
------------------------------------------

I setup the samba user with:
------------------------
smbpasswd -a webster
------------------------

I used the command
--------------------
cupsaddsmb -a -v
--------------------

and the result was:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 

Password for webster required to access localhost via SAMBA:
Running command: smbclient //localhost/print\$ -N -U'webster%[password]' 
-c 'mkdir W32X86;put /var/tmp/439fb7d81ff33 W32X86/PSC-1300.ppd;put

NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED opening remote file \W32X86/pscript.ntf
NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED opening remote file \W32X86/pscript5.dll
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 


I can do:
------------------------------------
smbclient //localhost/print\$ -N -U'webster%[password]' -c
------------------------------------
and browse around, ls the file list, etc. I just can't change anything.

If anyone could help me with the NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED errors, I would 
greatly appreciate it!

try setting print$ to readonly=no, writable=yes and see what happens.
This would only be during the cupsaddsmb process. Then set it back to
normal.

Looks to me like your printer$ share is read only according to your
smb.conf file.  But I can't get it to work either. =P

Let me know if you figure it out.

Just reading the cupsaddsmb man file, maybe try adding
    write list = webster

to print$
